ness, he would prove that the horse never had been lame until 
they made him so, and then he was lame in the other leg. (The 
Counsel for the plaintiff here said he would give up the unsound¬ 
ness, and rest his case on the viciousness of the animal.) Well; 
he was glad to find that his learned friend began to be sensible 
of the nature of his cause: he had now but one leg to stand 
upon, and he soon would not have that; for he would bring for¬ 
ward witnesses who had known the horse from the day he was 
foaled, and who would tell the jury that he never had any vice 
about him. 
— Moore was servant to the defendant.—Knew the horse 
well—groomed him—a quiet horse in the stable : rode him often 
without saddle—had no difficulty in doing any thing with him. 
After he had been up some time, he went out again to grass, and 
was then sent a second time to Cox’s (the breaker). Saw him 
from time to time while he was at Cox’s ; saw him ridden by 
Cox’s men. When the horse came back from Cox’s, he rode 
him. He had him under his care for five or six months. After 
this he went to Mr. J. Pocklington’s, the brother of the defend¬ 
ant, and when he came home was once more turned out to grass, 
and, coming up, he was sent to Cox’s to be made up for sale. 
Nothing vicious about him while he knew him ; no difficulty in 
mounting him. 
Ci oss-examined. —Has seen him saddled many times—has 
often saddled him himself; has ridden him with a saddle, with 
a cloth, and bare-backed. He once threw him by jumping quite 
aside, but he could never tell at what he started: he never saw 
him throw any one else ; had heard of his having thrown Caps, 
but nobody else. Never saw him set his back up. Knows the 
horse’s dam ; his master has her now : she is not vicious at all. 
Was sent to Cox’s the last time to be made up. 
— Cox , the horse-breaker.—He not only breaks horses, but 
takes them in to get into condition. Knows the horse well : he 
was first put into his hands when he was three years old ; he was 
sent to be broken. The horse was never, to his knowledge, in 
any other person’s hands but his :—he was then quiet in the 
stable and quiet out; he did not take more breaking than other 
horses. At four years old he was put into his hands again ; had 
him for a month ; shewed him to several persons, who came with 
the view of buying him : was bid money for him. He then went 
to Mr. J. Pocklington’s ; saw Mr. Pocklington ride him with a 
snaffle. He afterwards came into his hands a third time to be 
made up for sale : he had him about three weeks at that time; 
he did not ride him himself at that time, but he saw him ridden 
by his man, with a saddle, bare-backed, and in clothes: he was 
perfectly quiet. Recollects Mr. Patmore’s coming to his pre-
